If the upgrade isn't big enough for someone, they can simply not take it 😛īetas tend to be feature locked. There is more tot add, therefore they can add more in their upgrades. Products like Studio One have 'big' updates because there is a huge feature disparity between them and products like Cubase Pro. There is only so much more they can add, unless they want to start trying to go into the Live Performance space, which I do not foresee (yet). Plus, Cubase already has almost everything anyone can ask for. Some of those features seem small, but have big implications.

So, if anyone has currently Cubase 10, but hasn't bought an update yet, it is cheapest to buy the update to Cubase 10.5 now, and make sure you register it within the grace period or after the release of v11 (or hold on to it, if you think you there's not much in v11 you need) Also note that the update from Major.5 to the Major+1 version costs a little bit more than Major to Major.5. If you don't buy the Major to Major.5 update license before the Major+1 version is released, updating will cost much more - then you only have the option to buy the update from your owned version to the latest version, which costs more depending on how many version there are in between. And register the update license after the next major version (or maybe skip one if you wish) is released, and then buy the update to. So, if one wants to save money but update Cubase occasionally, the most optimal way is to have the major version registered (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) and buy an Major to Major.5 update license before the Major+1 version is released (cheapest in their yearly sale) - and hold on to it. The important thing is that the update license works for the version you have registered. If you wait until v12 is released, you will get that. But, if for some reason you register it after 11.5 is released, you will get 11.5. 11 is released, you will get a version 11 license.

So, if you currently have Cubase Pro 10, and you are holding an update to 10.5 license: If you register it after v. But, in my experience if you register an unregistered serial, they will give you the latest version of the software at the moment.

I'm not sure how it works if you register the update serial within the grace period. What's the best strategy to register 10.5 license in order to get v11 free? Before the new version release or now, within the grace period?
